Innovative community-based research project wins People's Choice!

Drawing Wisdom From The Well Creative Arts-based Research project has WON the People's choice in the Operation Blue Sky Aboriginal Health Initiative!

We are honoured and delighted that our project -- Drawing Wisdom From The Well --  headed up by artist & educator Jada-Gabrielle Pape (Saanich & Snueymuxw Nations) was chosen to be shortlisted out of 65 entries and was declared the top project by popular vote! Thank you for YOUR votes! 

 

  "This isn't a dry academic research project, this is an innovative, exciting, living document. Research has to reflect the people it comes from."   ~ Jada-Gabrielle Pape, Saanich & Snueymuxw Nations
 
This project is an innovative, culturally relevant collaborative research project meant to re-define well-being indicators in communities' own terms. The pilot will reach out to some of the many communities Hello Cool World has worked with, and what they produce out of it will be a creative and useful knowledge sharing tool to 'feed forward' the good work already being done in and by communities. We already have the support of the First Nations Technology Council, and the National Collaborating Centre for Aboriginal Health.
